You're out of your effing mind if you think that happened.
Carson's ratings were beginning to fall a bit and the Tonight Show was showing it's age. Leno had offers to go to other networks and his agent used that leverage to get NBC to expedite Johnny's retirement. I thought everyone knew that.
Carson's rating were slipping. But this Leno mystique is bullshite. Had he wanted to, Carson could have stayed until he died on the set. NBC would never have the balls to axe him.

Leno (or his manager) leaked to the press that NBC wanted to move Johnny out and replace him with Leno. That kind of shite probably had something to do with Johnny getting tired of the show. Any way you look at it, Leno is an arse.
Thanks to the OP for this thread reminder.
